Mangalore, Oct 30, 2014: A protest was organised by the Dakshina Kannada district unit of the BJP Mahila Morcha members in front of the DC office in Mangalore on October 30, Thursday to pressurise the state government to entrust the IAS officer Rashmi assault case to the CBI.

Roopa D Bangera, District Mahila Morcha General Secretary who addressed the protestors said the BJP strongly condemned the assault and manhandling of the IAS officer and wants the government to bring the culprits to book.
